I see Transfermarkt lists his citizenship as English and Spanish.  Edited by Hotlips_Hoolahan - 12 Dec 2020 at 7:03pm |

That was an error I’ve seen elsewhere - on ESPN, for example. Transfermarkt not reliable at the best of times

Is there anything in particular to suggest that he wants to play for us. He seems to have four options and I wouldn't be surprised if we're his last choice out of those.

well his father is from mayo. I hear his father is deceased but you’d imagine he’d have some allegiance to Ireland . Is his mother African??

The mother is French Cameroonian. Spain is his native country. His father is Irish. If I understand correctly, he could play for four countries despite some clownish assertions to the contrary about what a complete stranger to us identifies as. Michael Obafemi was born in Dublin to Nigerian parents and moved to England as a baby. He plays for us. So it's jumping the gun to completely discount the idea of this fella wanting to play for Spain. He also sounds very close to his mother going by comments he made to the media, in which case he could identify more strongly with his French or Cameroonian roots. It's all speculation until he starts regularly enough or shows enough form to warrant selection at Intl level. The FAI are aware of him anyways.

Cameroon would be a good choice. Good chance of getting to World Cup.

to be fair our international honours and Spain’s are practically identical if you ignore their 2EC and 1 WC over a 12 year period

Dont know what site I read it on in the last few weeks but apparently this kid was deemed not good enough for trials or had trials and was then deemed not good enough by the FAI in recent years for underage squads, this would suggest he is intrested in playing for us anyway at least.
Also he was photographed with his younger bro at a football event down the West 2 year ago so I would say his links to this country are fairly strong, most of the Spanish underage squads are made up from players from the big clubs not lads playing for Getafe so I would be surprised if he dosent line out for us on the near future.

Watched the last few minutes of this kid in Getafe v Sevilla. Not much to report other than he’s tall and a bit leggy. Looks like he will mature well physically. Had some pace but didn’t seem lightening quick.
He lined up on the right side of midfield. Had a couple of nice moments and a mistake
You can find it online if you look |

Getafe are away to 4th tier Anaitasuna in the Copa del Rey at 6pm today, any chance of one or both of Finn/Nolan getting a start?
